@Norm Matthews nice seafood boil. What would be your traditional Southern New Years day then?

That will be collards, ham hocks, corn bread, and black eyed peas.  I am going to do navy beans for Charlie and have black eyed peas in a dip with corn chips. All supposed to be symbols of good luck, progress and prosperity.   I have read that during the Civil War, the Northern soldiers burned all the crops but left the black eyed peas alone.  They thought it must be a crop for the animals, not people.
